Up until recently the fuel pump would always prime on ignition, but has now stopped. Have tested the fuel pump off the car and it seems to run okay. My first thought was the fuse possibly blown but thats fine and replaced with a new one just to be sure. And secondly i thought perhaps the relay (number 2) needed replacing have tried 3 relays and its made no difference, still no priming on ignition.
Any pointers as to what could be the problem? The pump will only make a clunk internally when i turn the key so im pretty sure its working.Thanks in advance

the relay needs to see a rev counter signal from the coil before it will run, so an issue with the spark system/wiring will also disable the fuel pump!
you coudl fit a 17/18 relay in the fuel pump socket, that should bring on the pump with the ignition. if not the pump or wiring is at fault. if it runs and car starts, then look at the fusebox, coil wiring or relay

the alternative is a post-84 cab/rocco/g40 shape polo lifter pump and fuel reservoir, then you can use a carb tank. the trouble with this is space is quite limited under the car. on the 84 cab/rocco they use a smaller accumulator which is relocated, then the reservoir goes where the accumulator used to go. have a look you'll see what i mean about the lack of room!
